Fortnite is about to unleash AI-powered NPCs

Followers of Fortnite will be thrilled to know that creators now have access to a new tool called UEFP, allowing them to craft AI-powered NPCs with customizable voices, personalities, and even turn-based interactions. During Epic's showcase, one such NPC, Mr. Buttons, attempted to persuade players to press a button in a room by suggesting it was safe, despite environmental warnings. However, the demo revealed notable limitations, including the need for input on buttons and the AI's turn-based nature rather than real-time conversation. The tool is set to be available later this year, with a behind-the-scenes look available at [link].
